It is vital for the iOS users to ensure that their iPhones and iPads are backed up on the iCloud before they initiate the upgrading process.

Huge scare for customers two year back

Just two years back Apple has launched the iOS 8 and it was filled with bug which caused a huge scare among the users. A bug present within the system prevented the iPhone users from connecting to cellular networks. Apart from this Touch Id, Healthkit and others apps became buggy which seriously underplayed the potential of the iPhones. All this resulted in Apple removing the update to iOS 8 within an hour of its release.
